soul repair

Stepping on a solid stone, Guan Lingdao turned around and saw that Ji Qingyan and Hua Caixing had been led in by him.He has been to this place before, but unfortunately last time he lost his mind and couldn't remember anything, he felt as unfamiliar as Huacaihang.The length of the cave is only two or three feet long, and there is no sunlight all year round, it is humid and dark, only sporadic and dim auras are left on the stone walls, and the scene inside the cave can barely be seen.

The ground was wet, and there was a small pool on the ground, which was cold and cool, which vaguely aroused his vague memory.

"Master, I remember that I seem to have been in this pool." Guan Lingdao said.

Ji Qingyan glanced at the pool, nodded and said nothing.

"You saved me in this pool?" Guan Lingdao asked curiously, "Brother said you saved me, but didn't say how. How did Master save me?"

Ji Qingyan looked up and saw that he didn't respond, and suddenly asked: "What are you looking for when you come in?"

Guan Lingdao remembered the important things to do, so he forgot the small things he wanted to ask just now.He knelt down and gently touched the water in the pool with his hand: "I don't know. When my brother told you about saving me, he said that this place is a bit weird."

"How weird?" Ji Qingyan said.

"He didn't say."

The water was so cold that it was like sticking your fingers in ice.Guan Lingdao thought of the Soul Cultivation Book found in the mountain lake behind the Shangqing Palace, and thought that there might be something in the water, so he didn't care about anything, took off his coat and got out of the pool.

He held his breath and fumbled on the stone wall in the water, rising to the surface to breathe from time to time, and sinking again.Ji Qingyan and Hua Caixing stood still, the cave was so quiet that it was uncomfortable, after a while, Hua Caixing looked at the water and said: "You and I have known each other for ten years, if it weren't for the order of the Patriarch, I would I don't want to capture Guan Lingdao."

"You are from the Hua family, so I won't blame you." Ji Qingyan's voice was low, as if he didn't want people in the water to hear him, "It's just that Hua Luochun is trapped by love, but you are a person who understands, Guan Lingdao If Patriarch Hua kills you, you can guess what the consequences will be. Huagong knows exactly what the Patriarch says, which ones he should listen to, and which ones he should make his own decisions."

Hua Caixing looked at the water and said nothing, just listening to Guan Lingdao splashing in the water.

He didn't hate Guan Lingdao, although soul cultivators deserved to be killed, Guan Lingdao hadn't done anything heinous so far.He watched with cold eyes, and almost understood what Ji Qingyan liked about him. This kid was a little funny when he said things, and his own people had to protect him desperately. He often made Ji Qingyan happy, and it was not uncommon for Ji Qingyan to love him.

Guan Lingdao climbed up from the water wetly, wiped his face, "There's nothing in the water."

"What's in your hand?" Hua Caixing looked at the little thing flapping in his hand.

Guan Lingdao looked down, threw the little thing into the water, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a fish growing in the water. I felt hungry when I touched it just now. Pick it out to see if there is any meat."

There was nothing in the water, just a few small fish two inches long, thin and long like grass leaves.Where there is water, there are fish. It is a very common thing, but Guan Lingdao felt a little strange for some reason.

the fish—

Ji Qingyan put his outer shirt on him: "Is it cold?"

Guan Lingdao shook his head, tied his belt and said, "Master came in last time, what did you find?"

Ji Qingyan walked to the corner of the cave, held his breath, pushed his palm, and the secret door in the corner opened.Ji Qingyan walked to the door and looked into the deep darkness: "Outside the door there are stairs leading directly to the top. Your brother went there when he came. He didn't see anyone after he came in. I'll stay here to heal your wounds. I don't know if he What have you done."

When Huacaixing heard Ren Guanling, his expression was a little bad.Ren Guanling's taking his body was a shame and a shame, and his cultivation was absolutely wrong, no matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't pretend nothing happened.The most damning thing is that he still hasn't figured out Ren Guanling's tricks.I remember that he drank a cup of tea in the inn before he fell into a coma, but something went wrong with that cup of tea, which made him unconscious and fell into a deep sleep, Ren Guanling took advantage of it.But at that time, Ren Guanling was a soul, with no body or form, how could the soul prescribe medicine?After thinking about it, the more I think about it, the more weird it gets. The soul can't prescribe medicine by himself. Could it be that there are spies among the people around him?

There were only a few people traveling together.None of Ji Qingyan, Song Guzhui, Shi Knocking, and Tsing Yi would do this kind of thing, nor could the few disciples of the Hua family who accompanied them. After all the calculations, Guan Lingdao was the only one who probably administered the medicine at that time.

For the sake of my brother, it is not impossible to drug outsiders.

But Guan Lingdao has a temperament of saying something. If he had given medicine, he would have admitted it by now, and there is no need to deny it.

When Guan Lingdao heard him talking about Ren Guanling, he lowered his head without making a sound, walked to the door and followed Ji Qingyan's gaze to look out.A winding stone staircase half a zhang wide leads to the top. It is dark and deep with no bottom to see, and there is no sound in the silence.

"Look here." Huacaixing's voice suddenly came from the corner.

Guan Lingdao heard the sound and walked over, only to see Hua Caixing lowered his head and looked down, a ball of light lit up in his hand, shining on the originally dark and dull stone wall.Guan Lingdao couldn't help but let out a soft "Hey": "What are these scratches?"

There are hundreds of traces that go deep into the stone wall, like people curling up their five fingers, mottled and interlaced, from the bottom of the stone wall to the height of three feet.Hua Caixing flew up, and the white light in his hand illuminated the stone wall above his head. As expected, there were layers of deep and shallow traces, some new and some old, like raising a wild beast trapped here, torturing and humiliating from time to time, forcing To get it to go crazy, life would be worse than death.Guan Lingdao looked up, unknowingly recalling the time when he was imprisoned by him, and seeing it made his heart shudder.

Ji Qingyan said softly: "These scratches are also found in the red sandalwood palace. There is a secret room in the bamboo house where Yan Wu practiced hundreds of years ago. The scratches inside are the same as here."

Guan Lingdao muttered to himself: "This is the place where Yan Wu practiced, and outsiders are usually not allowed to enter. Could it be that he is secretly imprisoning someone here?"

Who has been imprisoned for hundreds of years?Not in a cage, but in your own cultivation place?

Ji Qingyan just looked at the marks on the stone wall.The scratches are messy, it can be seen that this person has gone crazy long ago, and it should be the same person locked in the secret room.It's just that some traces here are very new, and it can be seen that the people who were locked up were still there until a few months ago. If this is the case, why didn't they see anything when they came in?

Hua Caixing said: "I don't know who was imprisoned and where did they go?"

Guan Lingdao didn't say a word, turned around and walked out, slowly going up the silent stairs.

The coldness here is so cold, Guan Lingdao sniffed and complained a few words, but the wrist was pulled by the people around him. "Be careful." Ji Qingyan said.

"En." Guan Lingdao's gaze was still fixed on the front, he turned his palm over, and the short blade landed in his palm.

Only inaudible footsteps and breathing were heard on the stairs, and several people walked to the top of the steps unknowingly, safe and sound, Guan Lingdao smiled: "There is still nothing."

No one, no movement, just a cold door in front of you.

"This door can't be opened." Hua Caixing said, "A few people who listen to the soul can't open it."

Ji Qingyan and Guan Lingdao looked at each other.They couldn't open it, but Ren Guanling did, so there must be something strange here.

The body has become the soul, and the cultivation base of Taoism will be greatly reduced. Everything depends on the strength of the soul.Guan Lingdao has recently vaguely felt that the soul power of himself and Ren Guanling is somewhat different from that of ordinary people, and even the other soul listeners seem to be far behind them, and their cultivation speed is much slower.

Ren Guanling Bingxue is smart, and he himself is not too stupid, but I don't know if he can open this door.

Guan Lingdao concentrated and closed his breath, a wisp of soul energy left his body, and suddenly turned into several gusts of turbulent wind, rushing towards the door.The long hair of several people flew wildly, and there was only a slight sound, and the door opened. Guan Lingdao looked back at Huacaihang, and suddenly saw that his face had changed, and said with a slight smile in his heart: "Don't be here, Mr. Patriarch Hua said in front of me that I am powerful, and the smarter and more powerful people are, the more people hate them, and they usually don't live long."

Unexpectedly, Hua Caixing nodded: "The head of the family is not jealous of virtuous people."

Hua Luochun doesn't care about the other family's affairs at all. In his eyes, there is only a difference between being disgusting and being tolerable.Those who annoy Hua Luochun usually don't live long, but fortunately, he and Ji Qingyan are the ones he can barely tolerate.He didn't dislike Guan Lingdao, nor would he kill someone because of his ability. The reason why he looked at Guan Lingdao more now was just to force him to do something.

There is still a staircase behind the door, on the stone floor, which bends upwards, just like before.

Guan Lingdao swallowed: "Why is it still a ladder?"

Ji Qingyan went up carefully.

This time the pace was faster, and he walked to the top lightly and delicately. As expected, there was still a door.Guan Lingdao pursed his lips, opened the door and looked around, and said in a daze, "It's still the stairs."

How deep are they in the ground?

Above the stairs is the door, and behind the door is the stairs, going back and forth several times, Guan Lingdao counted in his heart, thinking that this place is simply a nightmare from which he will never wake up, and he does not know when it will end.

At the top of the stairs again, Guan Lingdao opened the door, pushed it and said with a smile, "Master, what do you think we'll see? I guess it's the steps."

Pushing the door casually, his eyes were suddenly dazzled by a white jade-like stele in front of him.It is still a cave here, but it is extremely high. The surrounding stone walls rise straight up like a cliff, and there seem to be some small holes at the top. The moonlight sprinkles down and sprinkles on the stone tablet in front of you, reflecting it solemnly and solemnly like a dream.

"Is it a step?" Hua Caixing asked behind him.

I don't know what the stone tablet was made of. Its body is pure white and emits a faint light. Guan Lingdao was stunned for a while, and said intermittently: "Uh, it's not a step—"

Where is this again?
